If mask are as useless as you say, why aren't doctors working without them? N95 mask reduce the covid spread. They don't stop it, but they reduce it. Mask have low efficiency, but that efficiency isn't 0. Yet their opportunity cost is nearly 0.

doctors work over open wounds, and masks stop bacterial contamination.

I have a mask to stop viral contamination. It has a full face shield, and pumps air through a ULPA+ filter. It stops me catching anything, but doesn't stop me shedding.

viruses are small.

Yet their opportunity cost is nearly 0.

This is not true. There are many studies that show increased upper respiratory issues with people who wear masks, and that's before the environmental and psychological cost is taken into account.

A mask is just a hijab, by proxy. Those who wear them are accepting their subjugation by the state.

In Canada during winter, everyone have their full face covered because its cold. The mask just change the texture of what cover your face from the cold wind.

Really? I live in Montréal and I remember waiting for the bus at -40 degrees to go to school with not even a hat, and my hair completely iced up because I had freshly showered. We get used to it and we'd call anybody who was born here a sissy for wearing a full face covering because of the cold.

OK maybe in the arctic circle during a blizzard. But hardly anybody lives there but the Inuit are they so acclimated, they go ski-dooing at 100 km/h with NO GLOVES at -60 celsius.

You must not often go outside if you think that's how most Canadian live. Nothing's wrong with protecting yourself from the cold. In fact, it's the rational approach.

Every day for the last 53 years. I think you have no idea what you are talking about.

Full face coverings? Yeah, in the middle of blizzards. That's it.
